Tera Online is a pay to play MMORPG developed and published by Korean company, Bluehole Studio. The game is set to launch Q2 of 2012 and boasts a number of defining features, including some of the highest quality graphics available in a P2P title and a totally seamless world to explore, meaning there are no zones or loading times.
Tera Online is part of a new age in terms of combat, like other games, they've decided to do away with the typical mashing of hot-keys and instead have implemented a skill-based combat system. When you attempt to attack an opponent, it's not about your accuracy stat or their dodge stat, you have to actually aim your attack taking into account distance and movement direction. Dodging also works in the same way, if you're sharp enough to know what kind of attack the enemy is about to throw, a simple roll or jump can help you avoid it.
Another unique aspect to Tera Online is the groundbreaking political system. Players are able to attempt to become a Vanarch or Exarch, the rulers of the game's provinces and continents. Political voting will be included so players must convince others of their right to sit on the throne. Players that achieve either Vanarch or Exarch status will be able to gain prestige as well as increasing in power and soaking up the vast amounts of glory that come with being the king of your own kingdom.
Although Tera is filled with your typical MMORPG enemies, they also have the Colossal Creature system. Colossal enemies are pretty much what you would expect from the name, huge monsters that are to big to fit on your screen. These huge enemies will be among some of the hardest in the game, offering valuable loot and item drops and some even award titles or accomplishments.
